DOUGLASES IN CHILE

Recently I seem to have been receiving a number of :"friend" requests from folks in Chile.  Is there any research into Douglas families who left Scotland and settled in Chile?

1: go to your DNA tab
2: Search
3: type in SURNAME box   Douglas

I now have touched base with several folks in Chile who are Douglases.  I have read there was a vast diaspora of folks leaving Scotland .... 10's of thousand.

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
